the politicians are messing with
THE PEOPLES LIVES
while we wait fora mess of them on the pity pot
and i have to teach my grandchild that grown ups can behave like babies taking a tantrum
so many lairs
so many who steal from this country
this is not hear say
this i have witnessed time and time again
how refreshing
to have someone who isn't afraid to clean out the HOUSE
I AM A PROUD USA CITIZEN
i speak read and write in my language
i was five when i came into this country
it was also the first wave of Cubans that entered in the 70's
and when i started kindergarten i did not have the luxury as the Cuban students had
a teacher for an entire class of children who only spoke Spanish
and my grandchild is being held back as i know personally three generations in the USA and still do not speak the English language
my sweet grandchild has been innocent to come home and ask me the following
and i ask where are the educators
mimma "some boy in my class told me the middle finger means a bad word"
next
mimma "what does sex mean"
apologies in advance
next
mimma "what does nigger mean"
and i can go on
on top of all this
it was explained to me by the principal that this all takes place during lunch
i had to correct her
it happened in class during relax time
but
what really angered me was the next thing she explained
as i asked where are the lunch monitors where are the adults when this is going on
"i am sorry, but they are hired and do not speak English"
you read right
i was just beside myself
i hear the security guards hired by the city
what i want to know how can a person learn a language if it isn't being practiced and used on school grounds
the bus drivers the same problem
why am i asked "why don't i learn how to speak Spanish"
and when asked this question i respond in my language
and tell them in my language
"why don't you learn how to speak Hungarian?"
NO ANSWER
in this all
i am now dealing with learned behavior
and who is going to fix this problem
and how dare i be told to learn the language
by the way
i have picked up the language
as the majority came first
i was left behind not only taught myself the English language
while in kindergarten it was my Cuban friend Elizabeth who taught me what i know and picked up the rest as time went on
so my question is why is there three generations living in the USA and NOT WANT TO LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
this i was told by them
WRONG
my children could not get a job in our home town because they needed to be bilingual
i am spoken to not in English when entering a store or at a doctors office better yet over the phone
REALLY
ENOUGH ALREADY
and call me raciest
I DON'T THINK SO
my fourth child is part Hispanic
ENOUGH ALREADY
my grandchild is being held back as the teacher has to help those who do not understand
in this all
my message is
am i not in a country that speaks the English language in school and if "I" want to learn a different language there are elective classes i could take
but to force me
I DON'T THINK SO
WHAT WILL SHE COME HOMEWITH TODAY
me
